Show Notes

In this episode we discuss:  
  • Whether you should be concerned about low T3 or high glucagon on low-carb diets
  • Whether insulin resistance is a problem of excess glucose metabolism or excess fat metabolism
  • Whether a low metabolic rate allows you to live longer
  • Whether high-carb diets cause overeating and insulin resistance
  • Whether you should be concerned about glycation on a high-carb diet
  • And much more
